COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — COVID-19 risk and blood type It’s been researched, and there’s a lot of contradictory information out there.This is an excellent example of why we double-check your questions.
Our goal is to provide answers that are not available through a Google search. When you Google this question, you’ll find a plethora of different answers from various studies. Here’s what we discovered:In response to conflicting reports about blood type and the risk of COVID-19 infection from China, Europe, Boston, and New York, researchers launched a new study that reviewed over 100,000 patients in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada and discovered no link between blood type and COVID risk.
The findings were made public on April 5.“You can get infected with this virus regardless of your blood type,” Dr. Gastaldo explained.To be sure, the answer to Donna’s question is false: your blood type has no bearing on your risk of COVID-19 infection.”“You should get vaccinated regardless of your blood type,” Dr. Gastaldo advised. “At some point, we’re all going to come into contact with this virus.”When different studies produce different results, it is up to the National Institutes of Health and the Infectious Diseases Society of America to provide guidance.
“Those practice guidelines look at a collection of publications that come out to give guidance when there are conflicting messages that come out with specific studies,” he explained.
